Hello all,
Something been on my mind for quite a while is security, security and security!
I currently have my RaPi 4 with my home assistant exposed a on a single port, currently the only thing exposed but I would like to expose my OpenVPN as well. Just a few questions:
1) Would it be wise to expose my NAS to the WWW and run reverse proxy on that and then direct traffic to OpenVPN and HA appropriately via 2 subdomains?
2) Where is a cheap but reliable place in the UK to buy a domain name that allows SSL and subdomains so I don't need to rely on DDNS/DuckDNS/NoIP etc?
3) With OpenVPN, how is that more secure by connecting to that then opening my NAS compared to just having a specific port for what I need open? Is it just another layer or does it actually add some security (apologies for the very stupid question!) ?
